o Oversee incident response services to analyze, contain, eradicate, and recover

o Establish a cyber resilience program mapping business processes to recovery priorities

· Direct the Identity and Access Management function to:

o Define and execute the enterprise IAM roadmap and long-term vision

o Align identity strategies with business goals and overall cybersecurity frameworks

o Ensure IAM architecture, compliance enforcement, and identity governance mitigate organizational risk

· Establish and manage a rich set of KPIs to monitor risk levels and measure security program effectiveness

· Build relationships with Senior leaders to develop and support project and operational goals and help shape strategy through data analysis.

What You’ll Bring:

· Extensive knowledge of the current security landscape and industry best practices

· Proven track record of solving complex cybersecurity problems protecting enterprises and products using a risk-based approach

· Demonstrated ability to build and grow comprehensive Cybersecurity programs

· Ability to innovate and find creative solutions that balance the needs of the business with the needs of security

· Proven experience building a multi-team security organization, ideally overseeing distinct functions such as architecture, operations, and identity through direct reports

· Experience overseeing a SOC function led by a dedicated manager, across multiple time zones

· Experience overseeing an IAM function, including capabilities for MFA, single sign-on, privileged access, certificate management, and secrets management
